Welcome to the energy and excitement that is MidAmerica Nazarene University!
MNU students pursue a pioneering spirit and cultivate a passion to serve within a Christlike community as they learn how to lead purposeful lives. You’ll see purposeful lives manifested in class, in dorm rooms, chapel, the dining hall, clubs, labs, clinical experiences, groups, troupes, teams, counseling sessions, advising sessions, friendships, relationships, the heat of competition, quiet moments, thin places, studying, learning, challenging yourself, overcoming, stepping outside of your comfort zone, asking for help, prayer, success, failure, in a leap of faith, in Christ…because Purposeful Lives Start Here.
On April 17, 2018, Capt. Tammie Jo Shults made history by safely landing a heavily damaged Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 after a catastrophic engine failure and cabin decompression—an act of skill and composure that saved 148 lives. On April 11, 2025, the 1983 MidAmerica Nazarene University alumna was inducted into the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame.
